# How to: Apply Conditional Formatting to Data Cells | WPF Controls | DevExpress Documentation This example shows how to add format conditions to WPF Pivot Grid Control. - The **Data Bar** conditional formatting is applied to the ‘Extended Price’ measure and intersection of the ‘Sales Person’ and ‘Quarter’ fields. This condition formats data cells with a predefined orange gradient data bar. - The **Top Bottom Rule** conditional formatting is applied to the ‘Quantity’ measure and intersection of the ‘Sales Person’ and ‘Quarter’ fields. This condition formats data cells whose values are above average with green text and light green fill. - The **Icon Set** conditional formatting is applied to the ‘Extended Price’ measure and intersection of the ‘Sales Person’ and ‘Year’ fields. This condition displays a specific icon in a cell according to the range to which this cell value belongs. The image below shows the result. ![Pivot Grid Conditional Formatting example](/WPF/images/pivot-grid-conditional-formatting-example118543.png) [View Example](https://github.com/DevExpress-Examples/wpf-pivot-grid-apply-format-conditions-to-data-cells) - MainWindow.xaml.cs - MainWindow.xaml - MainWindow.xaml.vb
